..Undeniably, the AtPro is a Hunter! Its strengths span a multitude of Genres within this Sport! From the Mega Claddies, Relic Ramblers, Silver Slammers, Water Babies....
I remember when it first came out, the early adopters and the feedback, yet I held back and watched the Finds coming in....At a point, I could no longer argue with the RESULTS!
Sure I could go on and on about its weaknesses..that stupid coil and headphone plug in, the horrible ergonomics, The tiny TID screen which aint worth a dang etc...
But in the Field as an immediate producer? Even in the hands of a noob? At its price point? Yeah..the AtPro fit a market niche and made a lot of us some big stinky money!....It fit into a segment and performed as promised...All Terrain, All Weather...Turn on and go...
Interesting thing was a lot of long time 'Dtists tried it out and validated its strengths...So I finally whipped out the CC and bought one from a Forum Sponsor... The thing hits Gold like a TRAIN! I never once ran my Pro on the dirt, never once took it into a totter, never once Gbalanced it...I got it specifically for Water Gold, and it freaking delivered!.....In all Weather and all Seasons...
It makes no sense!..at its price point and so stupid simple?
The Damn thing makes pay...
